Completing the hardware location chart
Planning for the physical location includes documenting the rack locations of the enclosures and other devices that are based on the requirements of each device.
The hardware location chart represents the rack into which the Storwize® V3500 enclosures are installed. Each row of the chart represents one Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) 19-inch wide by 1.75-inch tall rack space or unit, each of which is commonly referred to as 1U of the rack. As you design your Storwize V3500 rack, use Table 1 to record the physical configuration of the 2U Storwize V3500 enclosure, and other devices in your system.
Note: Install the enclosure where
it can be easily serviced but ensure that the rack is kept stable,
for example by installing enclosures starting from the bottom.

Table 2 describes the components your Storwize V3500 system might include.
Note: The drive types that are supported in the LFF and
SFF enclosures are different, so the enclosure "FF" type
depends on what drives are required.
